Yusui Chang'an

Compared to the tit-for-tat confrontation between Mobei and Tianchu, Yeliang and Pingnan are quite peaceful.

Liang Nanyin, the third princess of Yeliang, followed Teng Chenglin's wishes and revealed that she liked Chu Chengye, the king of Qin.

The sixth princess of Pingnan, Hua Yunnuo, followed the wishes of her elder brother Hua Yuncheng and praised Jin King Chu Chengyao a few times.

After sending the envoy away, Zheng Cheng reported back the news he had just learned.

"Cheng Yao assassinated that girl from the Lin family? Why did that girl go outside the city? Is she still alive?"

Zheng Cheng explained in detail how Lin Jinyan happened to meet Princess Qin and escaped disaster, and also talked about the cause of the incident.

"Miss Lin sent a message to Miss Feng Er from Pingyang Marquis Mansion two days ago, inviting her to visit Ruoshui Villa, a gift from His Majesty. This morning, Prince Feng and His Highness Prince Qi accompanied Miss Feng Er."

The emperor sneered coldly: "It's a coincidence that the Chengye family went to Zhuangzi when the girl from the Lin family was out of the city. Do you know what Chengping did when he went to Zhuangzi? Did you say anything to the girl from the Lin family?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi and the guards of Prince Feng were there, so the hidden guards could not get close. After Miss Lin returned to the city with Princess Qin, the hidden guards sneaked into the villa to check. There were four paintings of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. The ink had not yet dried. They were It was written by four people. Judging from the length of stay of His Highness King Qi, it cannot be said that it took too long after the painting was made."

The emperor thought about Chu Chengping for a moment, then put it aside and asked about Chu Chengyao:

"Is it true that it was Cheng Yao who made the move?"

Zheng Cheng reported the truth:

"The hidden guard sent to follow Miss Lin said that he saw with his own eyes the Jianghu people around His Royal Highness Prince Jin, taking action against the Lin Mansion's carriage."

The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously:

"He was tricked by the prince and the queen. He knew that he could not marry that girl from the Lin family, so he killed her to prevent the Gu family from becoming a help to the prince and Cheng Ye."

Zheng Cheng also mentioned that he found traces of the property stolen from the residences of the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of War before and after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Following the traces carefully, we have found the source of two companies selling stolen property, and they are not in Tai'an City.

The family is the dowry shop of Chen Qingshan, the brother-in-law of Jingzhao Prefecture, who married his wife.

The other family is the brother of a captain in the city protection army. This captain usually respects Chu Chengyao very much. Zheng Cheng just reported everything he found.

But Chen Qingshan had secretly been following Chu Chengyao for a long time, and the captain was very convinced of Chu Chengyao.

The news was very clear. Chu Chengyao found someone to pretend to be a thief and caused trouble when the prince and Chu Chengye were patrolling the city. This not only instigated the prince and the King of Qin to have a grudge, but also made the officials think that the two were incompetent.

You can also take the opportunity to collect money and use it for other purposes.

The purpose of an ambitious prince amassing money is self-evident.

And Chu Chengyao has the ability to transport stolen goods out of Tai'an City, so he also has the ability to transport whatever is nearby into the city...

Somehow, the emperor suddenly thought of those assassins and Lu Yin during the Spring Festival, and became even more vigilant and wary of Chu Chengyao:

The city is deep and he is very good at pretending to be forbearing, and he is decisive in killing. He is indeed a talent that can be made. It's a pity...the ambition is too great.

Jin Palace.

Chu Chengyao had no idea that he was already being taken care of by his own father, and he was still angry at Zhou Yuexue for being exposed.

Zhang Ying'er sent a letter again, but Yue Mingzhu refused and told her not to come, which made Chu Chengyao even more irritated.

Thinking that Yue Mingzhu was deliberately showing off her temper when she saw him asking to marry Lin Jinyan at the birthday banquet, she secretly scolded Yue Mingzhu, like Zhou Yuexue, for being a short-sighted woman who didn't understand the general situation.

Knowing that Lin Jinyan's carriage was frightened and overturned, he quickly asked Zhong Yi to investigate. (End of chapter)
